*~*CHINA*~*

Adam and I got to China safe and exhausted!! China is 14 or 15 hours ahead of home! We accidently left our luggage in Vancouver cuz the 5 people I asked in SLC didn't think we had to re-check our bags, but we did and so our stuff got left in Canada! I pretty much packed everything I needed in my carry on, but Adam didn't! So he wore the same clothes for a few days and used my tooth brush!haha I was really thankful when our luggage got to us though! I was kinda freaking out about losing it mostly because of the tums. haha You can't buy them here so we brought a big bottle and my stomach has been killing me cuz the food is so spicy! Our total trip was around 25 hours and when we got to Weifang, I couldn't sleep! I am still adjusting to the smells, food and sleeping schedule! I have woken up every night at 2 or 3 and am wide awake and can't get back to sleep, so I am going to try a natural pill to help regulate sleeping schedules. We have gone shopping, just for a blow dryer, towels and food! Another teacher and her husband took us, she is great and helped us bargain! Things here are cheap! I already miss american food though! The bread and grapes are even different. But thank goodness for peanut butter and honey! haha and I don't even really like peanut butter that much! But we have only tasted a few things! I am sure I will love it in a few weeks. Adam is doing great and is picking up chinese fast, they love to hear Adam speak Chinese, it seems like he didn't even need to adjust. We taught our first classes today and it was great! They clap when you walk in and are so funny- I went to Adam's last class and they were all taking pictures of us with their phones. Our schedule is really light- we don't even work 14 hours a week. We are excited to be here and experience China!
